Efficient, knowledgeable and communicative

Heath was able to understand the issue, propose a resolution, and offer a budget. He worked quickly to get the case settled, on time and within budget, and even managed to get a better resolution than we had hoped for, which was not expected. Most importantly, he stayed in touch every step of the w...ay and even after. This is rare in any profession.

Eric Mayer

Employment and labor lawyer | Jan 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Honestly, I owe a lot to Heath, as he worked with me when I arrived at Ft. Polk as a brand-new lawyer to the Army. He is extremely proficient, thorough, and excellent at spotting the issues that are most important in a case. Not only is he trustworthy and reliable to his clients, but he is also well respected by peers, opposing counsel, and judges. Heath assisted me with well over a dozen cases, mentoring me to good results in all of them. Since then, every success I've experienced as a lawyer is attributable to the great start he gave me in the real world practice of law."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
